Welcome!

Thanks for expressing an interest in understanding,
organizing, and managing your personal finances!

What's been going on...

Jameel was nominated to present at the Center for Women &
Enterprise's annual State House Day. She had the opportunity to
express to her legislators, as well as other clients of CWE, her passion for
instilling change within our educational system in the area of
personal finance.

What's coming up...

The Faith Christian Church of Dorchester is celebrating their 27th
Anniversary from April 26th through the 29th. The theme of the
weekend will be "Total Health", in which they will be offering
workshops and seminars. They've asked Jameel to speak on Financial
Health on Saturday April 28th at 9:30AM.

Stay tuned for Start Money$martTM!

A new division of MJOrganizers is being developed that will focus on
educating young people in the areas of Personal Finance.

Seminars will be offered to parents for their children to learn what
the schools will never teach them - all about checking
accounts, credit cards, paying bills, paychecks, taxes and more...

The Myths of Personal Finance

Myth #3 - Smart People don't have money problems!

An incredibly incorrect assumption made in our society is that
people who have financial problems must be uneducated. However, most
of my clients are very well educated and manage much responsibility,
but they have problems getting bills paid on time every month.

What do you need to pay your bills? Enough money? Enough brains?
Enough time? The truth is - all three! However, having money and
brains can't do it alone. So many people I know don't allocate
enough time to the task of managing their personal
finances. In addition to assuming this is common sense, is the
assumption that it's simple and will take a minimal amount of
effort.

Many people don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about
paying bills, so they put their energy elsewhere. The little
consequences can really add up for some people. And intelligence has
nothing to do with it.

True Story - A friend of mine was the personal assistant for a
successful Investment Advisor. She had told me about how her boss had
gone on a one week trip out of the country with his family to invest
in a real estate opportunity. While he was gone he received the third
notice on a $66 water bill he had been neglecting. His family
returned on a Saturday morning to find that their water had been
turned off. He called the Water Company who explained that they
couldn't turn the water on until Monday morning. So on Monday my
friend received instructions to drive the money to the Water Company
and pay the delinquent bill. On the way, her boss's wife called her
to find out how much longer before the water would get turned on.
"This is ridiculous," she complained. "He's buying
five million dollar condos, and I can't wash my hair!"

Don't make the assumption that sending your kids to a good college
will teach them how to get their bills paid. Schools don't teach
these topics and they are not common sense!

Invite Jameel Webb-Davis to come to your school, church, or
organization and speak on these and additional topics regarding
personal finance.
